Genesis 49:9-12

9Judah is a 1lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. 2He 3couches, he lies down as a lion, And as a 4lion, who 5dares rouse him up?106The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, 7Until Shiloh comes, And 8to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.11910He ties his foal to the vine, And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine; 11He washes his garments in wine, And his robes in the blood of grapes.12His eyes are 12dull from wine, And his teeth 13white from milk.
